Star Trek CCG Dream Cards AtoZ

One of Star Trek's rare Christmas references... THE ENTRIES: [41] Christmas Carol, A [42] chromodynamic shield [43] chromoelectric force field [44] chromoelectric pulse [45] "Chrysalis" NOTES:  [41] All the characters that are learning about humanity are included. The joke is that Data was using this program to learn about humanity, and Seven of Nine was later told to read the book for the same reason. Source: "Devil's Due" [42] The first effect works from all locations within this region, the second only on the specific spaceline location. The first effect is cumulative, but needs to be played on different region locations (it's one per location). The countdown puts a time limit on the Objective. Source: Star Trek: Insurrection [43] A kind of Dead End, I suppose, but it has a countdown. Source: "Retrospect" [44] Coaxial Warp Drive is an event that plays on a ship. If the third function is used, Transwarp Conduit cannot be played on the ship to...

This time: An unusual Quark... THE ENTRIES: [36] chewing gum [37] chief examiner [38] "Children of Time" [39] Chile [40] Chin'toka System NOTES:  [36] Baseball personnel have baseball mentioned in their lore. Switch artifacts with your opponent, then serve Chewing Gum, and they can't switch again on the next turn, or as long as the Gum is in play. Source: Referenced in "Take Me Out to the Holosuite", but pic from "The Big Goodbye" [37] Another Empathy/capture effect, but sufficiently different from Cardassian Trap. Source:  [38] So if a personnel is attributes 8-6-4, its INTEGRITY, CUNNING and STRENGTH are each equal to 18. For purposes of anything EXCEPT personnel battles, that personnel would be attributes 18-18-18. The Quark Computer is the frontpiece of box P1. Source: "Waking Moments" [39] A baseline Mind Location (let's just say the Encyclopedia was less than forthcoming about context here) that may be used on a LOT of personnel...

Who's hungry? THE ENTRIES: [31] Charlene [32] Chateau Latour [33] chateaubriand [34] cherries jubilee [35] Chester NOTES:  [31] The Doc's perfect wife. Source: "Real Life" [32] Holodecks may act as Food-serving sites for this Food card. Source: "The Killing Game" [33] It's all about tenderness. STRENGTH cannot go under 0, nor will that kill a personnel. Source: "His Way" [34] The Food that turns into a bomb! Some Food-serving Sites (like Quark's) are meant to be shared so you could destroy your opponent's drinks. Cherries Jubilee, while not a drink, is alcoholic. Source: "His Way" [35] Yes, Chester is both an Orion Syndicate personnel AND an O'Brien (all the best uses for this cat lie there). He may not pair up in personnel battle, but he may still die from a battle if he's selected after STRENGTH totals are compared. Source: "Honor Among Thieves" Next up: An unusual Quark. Cards: Charlene, Chateau Latour, Ch...

We might have to go black and white... THE ENTRIES: [26] Chandler, Lieutenant [27] "Change of Heart" [28] Chaotica, Doctor [29] Chapman, Admiral [30] "Charge of the Light Brigade, The" Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [26] She must be where a Holodeck is present to download a Program card. Source: "Inquisition" [27] The personnel affected is not stopped so may beam back to a ship and, if possible, fly it to the other personnel's location. It counts as disabled for all other tasks, especially if it can't take control of a ship. If it can staff a ship alone, then you don't have any choice, and you must follow its imperative. If not, then it may have to wait, but you can't use the personnel. Source: "Change of Heart" [28] Any site with a Holodeck will do, but he must be there. Not projected, or simply on a ship with the Holodeck special equipment (or even Holosuite site). Dr. Chaotica is the frontpiece of box P5. Holode...

An Apollo tribute... THE ENTRIES: [21] Ch'Targh [22] chadre kab [23] Chadwick [24] Chaffee, Shutlecraft [25] Chamber of Opportunity NOTES:   [21] Source: "Sons and Daughters" [22] There's no real evidence to suggest this dish is native to the Delta quadrant. Former Borg are listed as such in their lore. Implant cards would have to be on a personnel at the Food-serving site. Source: "The Raven" [23] If Miles O'Brien present, you can download Connelly for a persona switch. Starfleet Intelligence are not the same as Section 31. Source: "Honor Among Thieves" [24] Finally, a shuttlepod to put inside smaller ships. I made them all landable without any other cards. Source: "The Sound of Her Voice" [25] Opponent cannot play this on the Tower of Commerce you played/seeded to block you. They can, if they expect you to play Ferengi, seed Tower first, so that it is theirs, and then block your usage of it that way. Source: "Family Business...

A card that promises a lot of Broken Links... THE ENTRIES: [16] Cassie [17] Cave Beyond Logic, A [18] Caves of Kahless [19] cellular regeneration and entertainment chamber [20] Centaur, USS NOTES:  [16] The [SF] icon is the Science-Fiction icon which, Rules of Acquisition-like, finds itself on all the SF authors found in the Encyclopedia. Those that weren't produced back in the day, including Benny Russell, will show up in Broken Links. Cassie is the frontpiece for box P6. Source: "Far Beyond the Stars" [17] Gives changelings and Species 8472 the ability to use Nerve Pinches, among other things. The second function may allow you to download both cards at once. Source: "In the Flesh" [18] Right now, only the reporting ability can be used, but seeing as Day of Honor Program will only play on Klingon planets, this will make it more flexible. Source: "Day of Honor" [19] Since there's no way this invention would ever work, I've added the AU Door bit...

More Cardassian stuff... THE ENTRIES: [11] Cardassian Institute of Art [12] Cardassian Intelligence Bureau [13] cardiopulmonary reconstruction [14] carrot [15] Casperia Prime NOTES:  [11] Artists must be listed as such in their lores. There are only two in the actual game (Tora Ziyal and Martis Mazur - yes, con artists count), but more than half a dozen more in AtoZ. All of them become dual-aligned if they don't already belong to the Cardassian affiliation. You might use this to help steal Cardassian missions if you're not playing with them. Source: Referenced in "Sons and Daughters" [12] Finally a way to get Vorta to the Alpha quadrant! The HQ is both Cardassian and Dominion, but only plays on Cardassia. Source: Referenced in "In the Pale Moonlight" [13] The just-killed personnel may not supply the MEDICAL (or ENGINEER) necessary to save itself. Source: Referenced in "Vis à Vis" [14] Danube-class ships are runabouts. If more than one Carrot exists...

We'll start with my take on the world of Captain Proton... THE ENTRIES: [6] Captain Proton, The Adventures of [7] captain [8] carbon 60 [9] carburetor [10] Cardassian Central Archives Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [6] All Captain Proton characters played by Voyager crewmembers (usually personae of the bridge crew) are pictured in black and white. Decipher's version of this, from the Holodeck Adventures set, is Holoprogram: The Fortress of Doom (included for comparison).  Source: "Bride of Chaotica!" [7] This room was missed by the Encyclopedia people, so I put it here. Source: ENT's "Shockwave" [8] A rare dilemma that affects facilities, too. Source: "Real Life" [9] The three car artifacts (all in AtoZ) may be stocked into your draw deck legally, but may only be played if Carburator has been acquired first. Source: "Vis à Vis" [10] HQ: Central Archives [B26] is a card that allows certain cards to discard there instead...

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Like the expansions before it, Crossfire had an Enhanced "product" covering 85 entries from the Updated Encyclopedia. It would have been distributed in 6 boxes (P1-6) each with 14 Premiums and 2 regular Crossifre booster packs (a mirror of Decipher's Enhanced packs). Six cards act as frontpieces you can see through the box window, and I'll mention them as we go. THE ENTRIES: [1] Caatati [2] Caesar salad [3] Calandra Sector [4] "Call to Arms" [5] Camaro NOTES:  [1] The attribute boost counts for the present ship too, so a lone Caatati Ship is attributes 6-5-5. A fleet of 4 ships would be 9-8-8 each! Source: "Day of Honor" [2] Two reasons for the lore: 1) That's not how *I* make Caesar salad; 2) the entry is from the episode "His Way" (get it?). I've included the Romulans because of the reference...

We polish off the main run of Crossfire...  THE ENTRIES: [361] Cyrano de Bergerac [362] Cyrillian microbe [363] Cytherians (no card required) [364] cytoplasmic protein [365] cytoplasmic stimulator NOTES:  [361] Source: "The Nth Degree" [362] It nullifies Andorian Amoeba's bonuses to attributes and skills, but does not return the "merged" copy to the table. Source: Referenced in "The Q and the Grey" [363] Cytherians is a dilemma in the Basic Set. [364] Source: Referenced in "Tuvix" [365] Source: "Phage" Next up: Enhanced Crossfire! Cards: Cyrano de Bergerac, A Single Cell, Plant Compounds, Toxic Shock
